I think your HS teacher had the exact wrong idea about math teaching -- if a student is taking things seriously, then they are probably asking a question for a good reason and answering their question is going to do them way more good than teaching the class does. That s g scientific knowledge* -- what's your background?

Hey, thanks for that! I work in photonics, I am in the final test department of a 40 Ghz laser modulator, we have a lab with a million bucks of high tech in it! Imagine turning on and off a laser beam 40 billion times per second, moggles the bind! And that is just the beginning, we are developing one that modulates at one TERA hertz. Them is a lodda hertz!
Did you visit my myspace site or listen here?
If you want to look on myspace, its myspace.com/donjenningsguitar
I have 4 compositions there from my first CD.
I don't have a degree, a bit late for that. I am taking a calc course, I have a couple of DVD's from 'the Teaching Company' and I wish I had this guy as a teacher back in HS, Prof Michael Starbird form the Univ. texas, Austin.
It is a great course in my opinion anyway.
Do you think the Riemann has actually been solved?
I got this book, The Riemann hypothesis by Karl Sabbagh and he talked about that mathematician who claims to have solved it ( De Branges) but I just read a piece in Wolfram's mathworld a counter example was formulated by Conrey and Li in 1998 refuting De Branges or invalidating his work. I am of course just a layman in all this but wondered if you know of any more recent work.
